2021 Rubicon JLU (On Order), 2018, 2002, 1996
I am currently looking to getting a new '21 Rubicon Unlimited (Currently '18 Sport-s) and want to get the lift and wheels done . The early thought is XD820 Satin Black Milled With Red Clear Coat 18x9s and Falken Wildpeak A/T3W All-terrain 37x12.50R18LT on the 2" Mopar lift. Trying to figure out if there would be any rubbing with this set up (don't do any crazy off-road but some) and how much would the tire stick out from the stock fenders? Any help would be appreciated.

So it looks like the offset choices are -12mm or +18mm. The 18 will push the centerline about 1 inch outward compared to stock, the -12 will push it out a little more than 2”.

this site has a great gallery that will sort by wheel specs, tire siz, lift and trimming/rubbing amount.https://www.customwheeloffset.com/

Are you dead set on 18" wheels? 17's have more options and are cheaper.

Here is a 17x9 -12 offset 4.53 backspacing

keep in mind Sport/Sahara have narrower axles than Rubicon AND narrower fenders, so offset will not sit/fit/look the same, by maybe an inch?. you should pretty much disregard any Rubicons you see. look at Sports/Saharas with wheels/tires on them.

Yes. Rubicon axles are 1.5" longer between wheel mounting flanges. So, the same wheel and tire combo will sit .75" further out at each corner.
